moonman Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Now this is very, very nice Jethro! Great pictures! - and i can´t remember ever having seen pictures taken from a balloon here yet! Super! ... might also be some explanation for some questions, that were asked here : http://www.orbxsyste...al-to-bowerman/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Christoph I thought it might throw up a few questions and even reports to DEVs in freeware issues. "Where is my ballon over Bowerman?" "they will ask" I'am a cheeky Bu**ar just couldn't resist HaHa!! Cheers Jethro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2110 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Awesome shots, can you steer it, or does it depend on the winds, cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi Phil, No its not steerable, the wind tends to carry it to wherever, it only has asend/desend capabilites. I use the slew feature to get it into position then float, upper level winds can change its direction though. Cheers Jethro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cvearl Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Watch out for traffic on the downwind! Quite original there. I wonder if with the right winds you could get 7 or 8 ballons up for a ballooning day. On VATSIM? I can see it now... Controller - Uh... Multicolored ballon. Join left base runway two four. Pilot - No. C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi cvearl. Interesting! nothing like a little envelope bumping, I guess it would work. Cheers Jethro Thanks also Iain, Glad you liked em. Cheers Jethro I just realised I can't spell (Ballooning) oh well! Jethro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
